Yehezkiel 5:9-10

5:9 I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again because of all your abominable practices. ¹  5:10 Therefore fathers will eat their sons within you, Jerusalem, ²  and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you, and I will scatter any survivors ³  to the winds. ⁴ 

[5:9]  ¹ tn Or “abominable idols.”

[5:10]  ² tn In context “you” refers to the city of Jerusalem. To make this clear for the modern reader, “Jerusalem” has been supplied in the translation in apposition to “you.”

[5:10]  sn This cannibalism would occur as a result of starvation due to the city being besieged. It is one of the judgments threatened for a covenant law violation (Lev 26:29; see also Deut 28:53; Jer 19:9; Lam 2:20; Zech 11:9).

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “all of your survivors.”

[5:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “to every wind.”
